Focus is the #1 reason parents enroll their children in martial arts. It also helps facilitate other life skills such as balance, control, and memory. Focus begins with good eye contact. Always look at your parents and teachers when they are talking and you will hear them better. Look with your eyes, listen with your ears, think with your mind, and do the right thing with your body. From doing well in school to earning your next belt, focus helps you to learn and do better.
